Structure
A portfolio is made up of Pages and Sections.
- A Page is a space for you to enter content and appears as a menu link when the portfolio is viewed. A portfolio must have at least one Page.
- A Section is a heading within a Page that allows you to add content by writing text, inserting media (for example, images and video) or attaching files. A Page can have multiple Sections.
- A list of Pages and the Sections within a portfolio are show in the left hand navigator menu.
Using Templates
- If you have created a Portfolio from a Template then Pages and Sections will have been set up for you to fill in.
- You cannot add Pages to a portfolio made from a Template but you can add Sections.
- Do not add or delete any Pages and Sections, unless your Lecturer has instructed you to do this.
